First Officer lands King Air B100 on a challenging runway
This video shows how First Officer David Parkes lands a King Air B100 on Danbury's challenging runway 26. Due to the obstacle situation, this requires a 6 degree glide path angle. At 100kts the required descent rate is 1,000 feet per minute. The First Officers flies this approach very stable and with exemplary precision. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Guido, you mind a suggestion or two: firstly the sounds of the engines is not there, it is important to correlate the sounds with descents/climbs, secondly the camera is focused on the instruments so it is almost imposible to see whether you are climbing or descending, it is so important to see the horizon too. Best regards.
Thank you!
The problem we have with the camera angle is the different light inside / outside. One camera will not be able to capture both with the correct exposure. I am working on a solution with 2 cameras and split the screen, but this may take a while.
Same goes for the sound: at the moment audio is only what goes in the head sets.A second microphone will be required for ambient noise.
Thanks for your comment and happy Landings,
Guido

I wish I had youtube in the 80's and 90's when I was in training to help learn it all from pros. Todays training pilots have a plethora of information at their fingertips like never before thanks to people who do things like this - adding subtitles, explaining it all, etc etc.
One criticism, a better camera angle would be helpful, that view reminds me of the 757 jump-seat view! LOL

Dear friend Jason Feldman, my apologies for philosophising !
You were lucky you had 'some ' teachers to guide. What about so many long before you did ? (Wright Bros. included !)
Today we have more and better tools of learning. But simultaneously, the things to learn have increased quantitatively as well as qualitatively !
No ?
P.S. - I was an engineering student during late 60's ! No calculators just a 'slide rule' or log tables !

Guido: I really like the subtitles which explain various details of what is being done and why. Thank you.
Thank you very much, Dan.
Happy Landings,
